I like it it looks good......

but then again I've recently been told Im full of bs.

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 09:17 PM

thanks whats the 1st thing i should do to it

Duston · 04-03-2009, 09:34 PM

I would do the things that cost virtually nothing.. like take off the fender and try to bend the metal where its been hit good enough to put a blinker back in the place were it goes. All the routine mantinece that may have been neglected by the previous owner

Is this car going to be your daily driver or do you have other transportation?

i have another car a subaru svx lsl but it only get 15mpg
so i was thinking of driving this more

Ive had two 3rd gen preludes but this is my first 4th gen its under "the $600 project" thread.I was just kinda on here trying to get some ideas same as you. Id trade ya cars in a heartbeat I'm not so much on the ticket me red color of mine. I like the 5spd in mine but h series auto trannys can be picked up jdm for $200 pretty easy.

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 09:47 PM

haha where so u live

Duston · 04-03-2009, 10:08 PM

DFW auto trannys are pretty much left overs from the H22 swaps that still had good 5spd trannys or at least thats what Im told.

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 10:15 PM

ya i wanted a five speed so bad
but this car was to good to pass up
i am gonna still look for one with a 5 speed

Prelude Auto's are horrid though.. They have lots of problems..

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 10:35 PM

i was thinking of putting a 5 speed in it how hard would that be

MLBZ521 · 04-03-2009, 10:43 PM

Um, don't know off hand, haven't done it..

But I know you'll at least need the following:

Pedals Assemblies
Clutch Master, Slaves, Lines, etc.
Transmission
Clutch
Flywheel
Bolts for Flywheel
New ECU

Possibly more.. There's writes every where on this.. I'm sure you could find a more complete list.. I have some of the stuff if you wanted it..

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 10:48 PM

my friend has a 96 civic will anything work

MLBZ521 · 04-03-2009, 10:50 PM

lol, No. B/D-Series is not interchangeable with H/F-Series.

You'll want Prelude Parts.. Some Accord things might work..

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 10:55 PM

damn too bad i will have to look how about like a 90 prelude

MLBZ521 · 04-03-2009, 10:56 PM

90? 90 What? '90 Year Model Prelude?

You'll want 4thGen Parts.. Some 5thGen Parts will interchange and work.

MLBZ521 · 04-03-2009, 10:59 PM

4thGen - Pedals Assemblies

4thGen or 5thGen - Clutch Master, Slaves, Lines, etc. (Not sure on the lines though.)

H/F-Series Related - Transmission, Clutch, Flywheel, Bolts for Flywheel (I assume the bolts will be the same, don't know why they wouldn't be. Can check for sure.)

4thGen - New ECU

I have my old Master and hard lines, damper, etc, and also a new set of Flywheel bolts and a new Clutch Fork. I have a new slave, but the bleeder screw is broken off inside of it, so it'll need to be drilled out..

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 11:01 PM

lol ooo my i am gonna have too look
ok some thing else
is a f motor in my car like an integra and civic u can pull ur b18 head and put it on a b16.
can pull ur sohc vtec head and put it on my non-vtec
my friend has a sohc vtec out of a accord

MLBZ521 · 04-03-2009, 11:06 PM

Um... Took me a few times to figure out what you were asking..

Can you swap out your non-VTEC F22 Cylinder Head for another F22 SOHC VTEC Cylinder Head? - This what you're asking?

If so, I'd say yes, but don really think it'd be worth it.

People do swap the H22 VTEC Cylinder Head onto the H23A1 non-VTEC..

92prelude-s · 04-03-2009, 11:08 PM

sorry it getting late and i am studing.
